I never thought I would say that the availability of a well-equipped
fitness center has become a top criterion in selecting where I stay on
vacation. Throw in some classes and I’m in vacation heaven!Now with Celebrity Cruises and Canyon Ranch teaming
up to revamp the current onboard fitness programs I think it’s time for me to
book my next Celebrity cruise!

Celebrity Cruises is introducing twenty new fitness
classes and seminar experiences are being introduced.There are six class categories based on
different core needs and exercise groups: Sweat, Conditioning, Longevity,
Mindfulness, Nutrition, and Acupuncture. For example:

I’m never shocked when I hear the statistic that the average
U.S. employee only takes half of his or her eligible vacation time. Although I
have all my vacation days planned out a year in advance (after all, planning is
half the fun), I really must coax my husband into requesting all his due
days!Crazy, right? Well with summer
right around the corner now is the time to plan a cruise vacation and I’ll
share with you some reasons why it's actually good for your health!

Taking cruise vacation is good for your health! Lots of studies
have highlighted the potential cardiovascular-health benefits of taking a
vacation, including reducing the risk of heart disease. The Framingham Heart
Study (a long-term, multi-generational study, designed to identify genetic and
environmental factors influencing the development of cardiovascular and other
disease) showed that women who take at least two vacations a year are eight
times less likely to have coronary heart disease. A study done with men who had
an elevated risk for coronary disease, showed that those who didn’t take an
annual vacation were 32% more likely to die from a heart attack than the
vacationers.

How do you de-stress?For me it’s sipping a glass of wine at the end of a long day. Or, once a
month I treat myself to a massage or facial at the local day spa. Now how
indulgent would it be to sort of

combine the two… and call it Vinotherapy?

Well, the idea is not new and MSC Cruises has just launched a signature
collection of spa treatments created with vinotherapy products from Bocelli
Wines!

So, what exactly is Vinotherapy? Vinotherapy is holistic wellness idea dating
back to Medieval times that uses wine by-products, such as grape seeds, skins,
and stems to heal and rejuvenate the body. Think Merlot facials, Sauvignon
massages, Chardonnay scrubs…

River or ocean cruise?It’s a tough question to answer because I can easily make quite a case
for either! To have the best of both is as simple as combining both into one
fabulous, seamless itinerary.So that is
exactly what Viking has done. Beginning this summer Viking is combining river
and ocean cruises in a single journey.
